[driverloader] Need to rerun dldrconfig after boot

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

since you are running Mandrake 9.2, please try to add 'MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes' 
in the '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0' file, this should fix the 
failed message on boot for eth0.

For the default route, you could also try to add 'DEFROUTE=yes' to your ppp 
connection. The file is probably called 
'/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0'.
